Administrative supplements are additional funds provided to active awards in order to conduct or support further research within the scope and timeline of the current award.
How can I apply?
Recipients can apply by following the instructions provided in the notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the administrative supplement. Before submitting a request for an administrative supplement, it is strongly advised that you contact your program officer (PO) to discuss the scientific rationale for a supplement request and program eligibility. Applicants can find their PO's contact info in eRA Commons.
